Information for students who are applying for

University during a Gap Year

The school provides one-to-one support with the UCAS application process even when students are no longer on roll with us. This includes one to one meetings about courses and universities, targeted support with writing personal statements and the setting up of practice interviews for Oxbridge and Medicine applicants.

There is a school administration cost of £50 to cover this service or £100 for Oxbridge, Cambridge, Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Studies. Students who previously received a school bursary will be eligible for a reduced rate. Please pay by cheque to Camden School for Girls (with UCAS Application and student name on the back) and give/send to the Finance Department before your UCAS application is sent for approval.

Please contact the UCAS Advisor Nicola Bayley during September, October or November. Ms Bayley is available throughout the first term to give help with the personal statement and to provide advice on courses and institutions.

You must make contact with the UCAS Advisor in early September if you intend to put in an application for Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Medicine.

If you intend to re-sit an examination you must register with the exams office by the end of September.

If you are sitting the UKCAT (for Medicine) or the LNAT (for Law), you must register with the test site and book your test independently at a local test centre. It is a good idea to take the UKCAT early as results will help to inform your university choices. The deadline for registration is 19th September. The registration deadline for the LNAT (apart from Oxford Law applicants) is 15th January but please do not leave it this late.

If you need to sit the BMAT (for Medicine) you must register with the exams office by 1st October. The test is sat in school on Thursday 2nd November.

If you are required to sit Oxford or Cambridge Entrance Exams (most subjects now demand this), register with the exams office by the end of September and sit the test in school on Thursday 2nd November.
